Anyone have a read on the GMAT for admitted Indian applicants? Outside of 2020? Because I really doubt it’s 740 or less unless they are female, lbgtq or have a unique work background.

Do schools provide GMAT of admitted candidates based on school of origin? If yes, I will like to know where I can find the information.

Use the filters in the decision tracker. It’s only partial information but the more people fill it out, the more detailed it is!

Check summary by school and you can said the filters you want.

decision-tracker/summary.html

You should also set the decision to be admitted so you filter out all applicants who did not get admitted. You can also try playing with other filters, there’s about 10 😇

No, really the best way to get. It is the class profile and cross referencing that with the geography part, but it doesn’t really indicate any of the qualitative information about the candidate. Outside of using the tool that BB provided I would say the best idea would be to find someone hopefully several who have a background comparable to you (this is hard to discern but gender/sexual orientation/diversity of work experience) are the key things to look at controlling for citizenship. So, see who has been admitted on LinkedIn and reach out.

Yes absolutely. See the class profile here: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/programs/m ... ss-profile

the GRE you need depends upon how diverse or overrepresented you are

How does GSB define First - Gen students? As my parents have a 3 year duration Indian degree, which is not recognized as equivalent to US 4 - years degree, does that mean I am First-Gen?

Hello everyone,

I recently came across some advice regarding application fee waivers. It suggests that if an applicant submits their application under the financial hardship fee waiver, there might be a higher likelihood of rejection, especially from schools like Tuck, Wharton, NYU and Stanford.

I’m curious to know your thoughts on this matter. Have any of you experienced or heard about such situations? Any insights would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Just curious - Chinese female w 740 GMAT score and 89% engineering bachelors here (Canadian), worked in consulting for 2 years. Would I be considered over represented (bcz Chinese, engineering, consulting)? Or average (cz female & first gen)? Stanford only releases “Asian” data which I think may skew towards having Indian students than Chinese

This sounds more like a rumor. As with everything, I think the answer depends on a few things. Harvard offers free application fee waiver if you make less than 65,000. Pretty much anyone outside of US and Europe I will be making less than that per year.

https://www.hbs.edu/mba/admissions/appl ... aiver.aspx

I think you can potentially shoot yourself in the foot by trying to make yourself seem too poor. This Hass to fit the story. You cannot claim that you are a successful entrepreneur who are requesting extreme hardship.

I don’t think there’s much of either implications or reasons for a denial just based on this. The reason business schools gave this option, to get the application fee waived, is to attract applicants who would otherwise not apply and not have the opportunity.

Everyone is overrepresented at Stanford 😇

I would not worry too much about demographics because you can’t really change it. Stanford is going to be hard for anyone. However, at the same time many people have done it from Asian or Indian or Chinese background. However, if you have a Canadian citizenship, he’ll be considered Canadian and not Chinese. But again I would focus on your performance at work and what you have been able to achieve so far and where you are headed.

Thanks bb for your reply! Yea totally with you that Stanford is hard for everyone. I am Chinese citizen so the deteriorating us-China relationship does worry me a bit. But you’re right - it’s not something I can change anyways so might as well not worry about it.

On the 13th of August 2023 after a good preparation for 3 months I decided to give my GMAT and I did. ( I am an Indian if it matters )

I made a decent 750/800.
QR : 50
VR : 41
IR : 03
AWA : 04

My credentials are as below :

a. Bachelors in Technology ( Civil Engineering ) – 2.72 / 4.00 ( 2008 – 2012 )
b. Postgrad program ( Construction Management ) – 8.1 / 10 ( 2012 – 2014 )
c. Work Experience – 9+ years
d. Background is specifically into Project Management for Commercial Interior Fit outs

How much of chance do I have?

Does Stanford have any clear income threshold for fee waiver? I noticed that for Latin America, they mentioned $40,000. Anything for Asian countries?
